The constitution was uniquely an American document, but it had many roots in many other civilizations. The delegates had studied and discussed the history and political development at length, starting with ancient Greece, so that their new government could avoid the mistakes of the past.

Many of the ideas in the constitution came from the study of European political institutions and political writers. British ideas and institutions particularly influenced the delegates. Though Americans had broken away from Britain, they still respected many British traditions.

Answer 2

The American government was the government to incorporate three different branches, each one with their own checks and balances, so that no branch could become too powerful. The president is elected by the American people in accordance with the rules of the electoral college, and U.S. Representatives and Senators are elected by the eligible voters who fall under their territories (county for representative, state for senator). Potential Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president, and voted upon by Congress. The legislator creates bills and votes on them, the president signs bills into laws or vetoes them, and also exercises other executive powers that no other political entity in the United States government possesses. The Supreme Court decides on the Constitutionality of certain laws and court decisions, which can undo standing laws or prevent others from coming into existence.
